He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.
He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.
Here we fucking go. We’re about to find out how far down that rabbit hole goes.
The right wingers get almost everything wrong, but I 100% believe that the 1% in America are into all kinds of fucked up shit. The rule of law has failed, and their money and power has insulated them from consequences.
PR rules the world. Can’t allow free speech and protest if it might draw attention.
Better to show overwhelming military force on domestic college students at the first sign of protest. Keep it from spreading.
Ukraine needs to be allowed to go weapons free in Russia proper, destroy their air defenses, then start hitting refineries and other high value targets throughout Russia and especially near Moscow. Then, peace talks can be productive.
JP Morgan Chase, Ford, Bayer, etc. Nazi Germany was incredibly popular with the extraction class.
Genocide of “undesirables,” forced labor camps, endless wars of conquest, human experimentation, etc. Being completely untethered to humanity and allowed to do anything for a price is the ultracapitalist dream.
Resigning requires feeling shame for your actions. Vance has absolutely no shame.
Keep in mind that his private communications have leaked. He talked about what a monster Trump is for making immigrants feel unwelcome and unsafe.
Vance is not like Trump. Trump was raised to be a monster and not intelligent enough to question anything. Vance, OTOH, is smart enough to know better. He chose to be this person. He willingly, voluntarily sold his soul to the MAGA devil. That’s why looking at him and listening to him makes people’s skin crawl. There was a person in there once who was forcibly evicted in favor of a monster.
“If you think my Haitian stories are bad, just wait until I start making up stories about Jews. I get most of my “news” from this website called 4chan. Ever heard of it?”
Verified, so that’s clearly him. Ask him why his dad was in Dallas when JFK was shot.
Nothing spices up a marriage like Communism.
Maybe the word “directly” didn’t translate well. If Russia engages NATO directly, their forces will be wiped off the map. Ukraine is using old NATO equipment from the 90s that was pulled out of storage and kicking all kinds of Russian ass. Direct NATO involvement would mean carrier groups, F35s, stealth bombers, and a whole lot of other fun things the Russians have zero answer for.
There was a conspiracy involving 9/11, but it had nothing to do with secret thermite demolition or Israel or holograms or any of that nonsense. People were rightfully questioning how these hijackers were able to enter the US and stay under the radar while training for and executing the attack. We now know that Saudi officials helped them.
It’s also worth noting that the Bush family has very, very deep ties to Saudi Arabia, which may have affected the investigation and how information concerning Saudi complicity was handled.
When you think about it, the primary reason for taking Crimea was because Russia needed a port to maintain its Black Sea Fleet. Now that the Moskva and most of that fleet have been upgraded to submarines in said Black Sea, do they still even need the port?
As long as a single human being is homeless or hungry, billionaires should not exist.
The important thing to understand is that groceries are a small part of a much larger system that exists to extract money from everyone and give it to a small number of people.
Those people own everything. Politicians, courts, the news, the police, etc. All the institutions you think of as part of society that exist to serve the people actually serve the interests of this small group of people, the extraction class.
They cause or at least refuse to prevent most of the suffering in the world, including yours. They’re destroying the planet itself with their unbridled, untethered greed. And they try to control opposition to them by owning the media, as well as the digital platforms we use to interact.
The only war is class war.
You pirate content to save money and protest the excesses of capitalism.
I pirate content because I enjoy singing sea shanties with the mates while seeding torrents.
We are not the same.
Fire Hydrant Turns Rolling Dumpster into Dumpster Fire
But the US system ranks first in wealth extraction from people to billionaires, so it’s working as intended.
